lyrics

If you knock on my door one of these nights
And no light comes on inside, it means I’ve gone
And if I’ve left you no note saying where or why’d I go
It’s just cos I assumed you’d know how the thread moves along

I have waited for the sound of your hand upon the latch
Holding my breath so I could catch
Your spirit drift into the room
Open as we were
Our hearts out in the rain
Bleeding for the moon
Beating out of time
And warmed inside the fire
That’s held back by the skins wrapped round
All of the gods I found in you

So if you’ve come ‘round to late
Sometimes that’s just what it takes
For us to see our own face
In the dark of the glass
And if you don’t recognize your own sad, lovely eyes
Staring back into the night, just recall
The sound of our voices
As they rang out in chorus
The laughter and joy we found spread out before us
The night I first knocked on your door
